Debug report hidden at crash

<div class="IPBDescription">Can't access it</div>The last few crashes, I have had a debug report window 'appear'. The problem is that I can't bring it to the front. Whenever I try and switch to it, I see it for a second, but then a black screen of the crashed client is brought to the front, and I can't input or send anything. Has anyone had a similar problem, and is there a way to fix this?

    Can you "ALT+TAB" to the debug window? Or perhaps, Windows key+D to minimise all to try and access the window like this?

    I had the same issue. I think how I fixed it was to go to the window using alt-tab or the start bar (don't reminder which), and then even though I couldn't see the window I just hit enter to send the report.

    I'm using windows 7. I have done alt tab, and I can go to windows desktop, and if I go to the taskbar in the bottom of the screen, I can do a mouseover to temporary get the screen visible, but when I select it, the black NS crashed screen comes to the front again. I play in fullscreen mode, so maybe if I switched to windowed, it could work, but I crash pretty seldom, so it could take a week, to get another crash.

    The amount of times I have crashed and haven't been able to submit the crash dialog because it crashes or I can't click on it is mind blowing....

    If you hit enter twice usually it submits it if you selected it through the taskbar. You can also look at the error message in the %APPDATA% folder if you really want to.

    Thanks for that hint, I'll look through the logs in the future, see if something interesting appears

    I haven't had error-report dialogs anymore for a good 20-30 builds now (just simple crash-to-desktops), assumed they had been taken out or some such.

    *bumping old thread

    Does build 254 have a VSync issue, or my PC?
    Since 254 is out, I've missed 3 debugreports this way :(
